L2M-Advance DC-DC converter for improving performance of underwater electric drone.

This project focuses on developing an advanced DC power converter to improve the efficiency and operational time of underwater drones, which are essential tools for monitoring and managing marine environments. By addressing the limitations of conventional converters—such as energy losses, component stress, and bulkiness—this project aims to enhance battery performance and support longer missions in harsh underwater conditions.
The expected outcome is a reliable, efficient power solution that supports marine research, climate monitoring, and offshore platform inspections, ultimately benefiting the maritime observation network.
